Police serve warrant on Upper Paxton man for high-speed chase in April

Police served a warrant Friday on a man wanted for leading officers on a high-speed chase late last month before the pursuit was ended by police for safety concerns.

Logan A. Ebersole, 18, of Upper Paxton Township, was taken into custody without incident toward 9:40 a.m. Friday by Millersburg police, according to a police press release. Ebersole was identified by police as the driver of a vehicle involved in a high speed chase with police that began at 12:09 a.m. April 27, the release states.

The release did not mention any specific charges against Ebersole, and an online search of court records did not find any results Monday afternoon.

Police contend that Ebersole was behind the wheel of a black Mazda RX8 seen driving at a high rate of speed with its lights off as officer arrived at the intersection of Center and Walnut streets to investigate a large crowd gathering at the intersection April 27.

An officer pursued the Mazda as it turned left off of Center onto Johnson Street, then quickly accelerated to over 100 mph, police said. The chase was ended after the Mazda reached Hoy Road, then turned onto Grange Hall Road, the release states.

According to the release, Millersburg police were able to recognize Ebersole from previous interactions with him, and a warrant was issued for his arrest a short time after the pursuit.

The release did mention that Ebersole was arraigned following his arrest last week and has since been released on bail.
